Products, Prices and Trade 
NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 25, 1919. 
These prices and notes are believed to 
be fairly representative of the current of 
trade here. The range given in the quo¬ 
tations covers the qualities on hand at 
the time. The best grade of most fruits 
and vegetables, live stock and poultry on 
sale one week may be much better or 
poorer than next week's offerings, so that 
a lower top price on such products does 
not necessarily mean a lower general mar¬ 
ket. This does not apply to butter, cheese 
and eggs, which are more thoroughly 
standardized. 
MILK PRICES. 
New York, for October, $3.11 per 100 
lbs. for 3 per cent milk at points 200 to 
210 miles from the city, with 4c per 100 
additional, for every tenth of 1 per cent 
butterfat over 3. This price to the pro¬ 
ducer is 10c per 100 lbs. lower than for 
September. The reduction is caused by 
the lower price of cheese, which is used 
in connection with 92 score butter quo¬ 
tations at New York, in figuring milk 
prices to the producer at present. 
BUTTER. 
The better grades are two cents higher, 
as this quality is running short in cur¬ 
rent receipts. Some business in storage 
is reported, with buyers unable to 
satisfy their needs from fresh supplies. 
City made and packing stock remain 
about as last reported.

Fancy nearby are scarce and two cents 
higher. There is a heavy surplus of de¬ 
fective goods. The Hebrew holidays now 
being celebrated take this class of buyers 
from the market and have doubtless pre¬ 
vented a further advance in white eggs.

LIVE POULTRY. 
At this writing there is practically no 
buying, and will not be until the end of 
the Hebrew New Year festival. The last 
business was reported at: Fowls, 30 to 
34c; chickens, 31 to 33c: ducks. 28 to 
30c; roosters. 19c; geese, 20 to 22c; tur¬ 
keys, 25 to 30c. 
DRESSED POULTRY. 
One of the features of the week has 
been the sale of Government-owned poul¬ 
try, which has been interned in cold stor¬ 
age for some time. Arrangements were 
made to distribute this through a large 
wholesale house, but thus far retail deal¬ 
ers have not bought as much as was ex¬ 
pected. Doubtless this stock would have 
sold better earlier in the season, as fresh- 
killed poultry is quite plentiful now and 
is much preferred.
